Emphasis Area (24 Hours)
A committee consisting of three faculty members, at least two of which must be from the Department of Physics and Astronomy, must approve a program of study and any subsequent modification. Some suggested emphasis areas are: astrophysics, geophysics, environmental physics, engineering electronics, radiation safety physics, medical physics, technical management, industrial physics, computational physics, mathematical physics, and technical writing. Many other combinations for emphasis areas are possible and will be developed in consultation with the departmental chairman and the faculty advisory committee.
